Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Because people wanted to know who got the perfect score, everyone was fixated on the national exams like never before. A few teachers logged onto Weibo and they did not even have to look to know it was being discussed on the trending list.
On their homepage, several big accounts were already sharing the posts from the Ministry of Education about the top student in the nation. The name of the top student was eye-opening. A teacher stood up in shock and looked at the phone then at the other teachers. She did not speak for a few seconds.
After awhile, she spoke in a tense voice. “Did I read wrongly? The top scorer is Gu Mang?!”
Xi Yan looked at the news from the official post in shock and her mind went blank. She could not believe it.
“Could they have the same name?!” The teacher who was speaking grabbed her phone tightly and looked at Xi Yan.
“What same name?” She pointed at the phone screen and everyone went out of control. “Look clearly! Ming City High School! Gu Mang! Is there another Gu Mang in our school?!”
Xi Yan saw it too. The top scholar of the nation with a perfect score. Ming City High School, Gu Mang! It was the Gu Mang of their Cla.s.s Twenty!
“How could this be! There’s no way the top student is someone with her grades!”
“Gu Mang scored zero on all of her school exams, is there any teacher in the entirety of Ming City High School who does not know about that? Now she has a perfect score in the national exams. How can this be?!”
Luo Songhua’s expression was really dark. She slapped the table and turned to Xi Yan. She appeared fierce but she was cowardly at heart. “Xi Yan, you had better make Gu Mang explain herself. She has cheated on the national exams. Does she think she’s not shameful enough?!”
Xi Yan put away her phone. “I am not in the mood to argue with you. Whether or not she has cheated is not up to you to say. The authorities will surely have someone to check on it.”
Gu Mang’s results were far beyond everyone’s expectations. Xi Yan was still woozy from the news. She trusted that Gu Mang would not cheat but she really did not know how to explain the results…
“Check?” Luo Songhua scoffed. “By the time the authorities check, the reputation of the school will have been thoroughly tarnished! She scored straight zeroes for over ten years and now she has a perfect score. What a joke!”
The other teachers did not deny Luo Songhua’s words.
Experimental High School.
Yi Chen saw the announcement and he widened his eyes in shock. “Gu Mang got a perfect score?! This is impossible!”
The form teacher regained her senses and looked at Yi Chen. Then, she frowned. “The officials announced it. Weren’t you in the same venue as her that day? How did she do it? Do you know?”
Yi Chen looked really shaken. “She left half an hour early for all four papers. I heard the two invigilators say that she used the draft papers to draw.”
“Then how could she achieve a perfect score?!” The form teacher was really astounded.
She left half an hour early for her Language exam and scored a perfect score on it. Even she wouldn’t be able to achieve that! And for General Science. There were so many questions. How did she finish half an hour early, much less spend time drawing? Even the top scholars on the university entrance exams couldn’t achieve that!
Yi Chen didn’t get it.
Suddenly, a scene flashed in his mind and he looked at his form teacher. “Teacher, Gu Mang brought some notes with her to the General Science exam. Could she have cheated?”
If she brought notes with her to the test it was possible that she could have cheated on all of them.
The form teacher squinted. Cheating on the national exams?
She thought for a while and lowered her voice to command him, “Report it to the police. Cheating on such an exam is against the law. Get Ming City High School to do an investigation!”
“Yes.” Yi Chen wanted to call the police immediately. He wanted to see how Gu Mang would fend for herself this time!
How brave of her to cheat on such an exam.
